Hello Tom,

as we have started to generate ACPI tables in U-Boot we should request an ACPI vendor ID for the U-Boot project.

As described in https://uefi.org/PNP_ACPI_Registry this is done by sending a mail to vid-request@uefi.org.

As the ID is meant to have 4 letters I suggest to use 'UBOO'.

https://uefi.org/ACPI_ID_List shows existing IDs. I don't know if the owner must be a legal company (which probably needs to be member of the UEFI forum) or we simply can have "Das U-Boot project" as owner.

I see from the list that Coreboot has "BOOT" so presumably we can request UBOO for the project, and I've done so now.
